Monday - perfect day for start...

Hello Friends,
Today is a brand new day for me - I start my on- line diary! I am new to blogging and I am a little shy, but I do love to share my stories and I would like to introduce very special couples I met…
Working as a photographer, every single day I have the opportunity to meet wonderful people and this is the best part of my job. Often times, I get a chance to experience and to photograph places and individuals that are out of the ordinary. One such time was when I photographed a wedding in London…

The amazing couple, Beata Aleksandrowicz, the bride, and Jean- Marc Delacourt, the groom, planned the very unique wedding. Everything was different: Beata’s dress color – deep orange rather than traditional white, street parade to City Hall for the wedding instead of a limo ride and wedding party in London Hyde Park!!! To top it all, they did not accept wedding gifts, instead, they asked for donation to help African Bushman in Namibia. For a glimpse of a Bushmen story visit their website at http://www.puremassage.com/bushmen.htm They had collected enough donations to help provide food, clothes, and medicine for Bushmen for two years!!!

Their wedding was just amazing. Two hundred wedding guests from all around the world (South Africa, Namibia, Poland, Belgium, USA, France), pot luck buffet, live band (Bride and Groom prepared mini concert for guests and sang even though they are not professional singers (they did take singing classes, however, as I found out later), raffle tickets lottery to raise more money for Bushmen as part of their wedding reception, very delicious wedding cake and huge gazebo with dancing floor…

This really was most untypical wedding that I photographed and I want just to share with you this wonderful idea for a unique event. Beata and Jean Marc started life together in style, with generosity, open hearts and sharing love with people in need.
